How to remove limescale from terrazzo
Limescale settles as white, dull deposits on terrazzo, especially on floors and around water. Remove it carefully with Denwax Pink Stone, which loosens limescale and grime without scratching, then wipe with a damp cloth. Never use vinegar or acidic limescale removers, as the acid dissolves the binder and etches the terrazzo. Apply a layer of care afterwards, so limescale is less likely to return.
How to refresh a terrazzo floor
A dull, grey terrazzo floor is most often caused by dirt, soap residue, and a worn surface layer—not that the floor is worn out. Wash the floor with a mild soap and a well-wrung mop, rinse, and allow it to dry completely. Then apply a thin layer of Denwax Care, which revives the colour and restores depth and shine. This leaves the floor looking fresh again without sanding.
How to treat and care for a terrazzo countertop
Clean the countertop with a mild soap and wipe it dry. Then apply a thin layer of care, which protects against stains, moisture, and limescale from everyday use in the kitchen and bathroom. Repeat the care at regular intervals, and wipe up water and acidic foods such as lemon, vinegar, and wine immediately, as they can etch the surface. Denwax Clean cleans, and Care protects the terrazzo countertop.
